Aurélien

Location:Chicago, IllinoisClient: Ryan Companies

Project description: Aurélien is a luxury apartment tower designed by Ryan A+E and located at the southeast corner of Clark and Chestnut Streets in Chicago, Illinois. Scheduled to be completed in 2017, the development will feature 368 apartments in a 33-story tower, 154 parking spaces, and expansive common areas which include a full floor of amenities at the rooftop level.

The exterior of the building is articulated by undulations and setbacks that respond to its interior functions. Architectural concrete, exposed steel, and aluminum windows further activate the facades. Terraces and balconies punctuate the skin, and exposed steel cornice lines express the contemporary vernacular of Chicago’s exciting River North neighborhood. These connections, along with the integration of the nearby Cosmopolitan State Bank, help interweave the tower into the neighborhood fabric.
